Whack nuts, who can't read, or pronounce, ain't my problem.

U R = you are and 2 = to isn't exactly advanced U-boat encryption.

Let's go ahead and break it down though, for those whack nuts who ain't your problem...

Hello, schwarze. Nice cyber-shovel, man. Your post, buried by all these other posted replies. Apology for my oversight of your duo of questions. Indeed someone did, and, an affirmative that changes occurred. In my rush (things happened quickly, upon the release), and with other usernames, I opted to instead draft teams of catchers, with team number one having Joe Mauer 'C' slotted, at the top. Those teams, two and a half total, produced a Top-26 catchers 'sample-size', salary-wise, descending. The 'lightning-bolt' of the new additions to the database, had an immediate second bolt upon glance at Joe Mauer's D-. Am I overstating the normal lightbulbs in brain cells, during 'idea mode'? Blew a few bulbs with all that thunder, from the constant WTF's that were exploding by the second, with each glance at the multiplying D-'s. Cut to the chase. Perfect plan. WIS Sitemail. You old fart. Of all the people to ask me? Had to be you. See you.

Even with the texting/internet shorthand removed, it makes no sense. It's just a jumble of half-formed thoughts and fragments with random commas. That's why people can't read it, not because 4 = for is beyond their kindergarten educations.

Posted by Lazerhawks on 10/4/2013 9:17:00 PM (view original):I sent a note to sim about the 2013 catchers all having a D- fielding rating. I'm sure it's a mistake that they will correct.

Correct me, should I be wrong here... -Seems to me that
a catcher's D- fielding rating, would also be reflected in a
lowered salary (?)...

In other words, if it's a mere forgivable 'modern-day' typo,
then of course, it would have no effect on the salary, even
if all catchers "ooops'd" into an A+ fielding rating (?)...

The calculations, that ultimately determine that season's
salary for any player, should reflect the fielder rating, too...

Are the salaries gonna' change, like when JMauer gets a
nice upgrade, from a D-, to whatever... Surely, he'd cost a
wee-bit more (?)...

We shall see, once those typo's are corrected, right ???...

SKUNK (Yes U)... U didn't read THIS quote, but 'schwarze' did...

'schwarze' asked 2 questions... Those questions are pinpoint'd
@ what happens IF >>>

1) ALL numbers on a players season totals, that lead 2 the final
SALARY for that player, but SALARY end totals change when any
player receives a defensive up-grade... All numbers stay as is...

2) 'schwarze's' question seeks the differential in salary re-fix's
ONLY after a D- is upgraded to a B-, or A+...

3) Eye know what 'schwarze' is seeking... Finally a 'window' in
which ACCURATE measurements regarding DEF ratings can
be made on ALL players... The worth of a D-, on a linear weight
that is finally in OUR hands...

Will definitely NOT share such w/ a blind SKUNK who cannot,
or will not make any attempts to TRULY understand...

For the 1st time, we have the salary of JMauer as a D-minus
catcher in 2013...

Very shortly thereafter, ---we had a new 2013 JMauer with a
different defensive rating, & a different salary...

That (simply) is what is measureable, & anyone who copied
the initial release numbers, --benefitted-- for a very few short
moments, ---because WHEN the change occured, those first
numbers disappeared, across-the-board...

Again, was able 2 save 26 catchers, whose def ratings were
changed from the release, after the upgrade...

Those "before-&-after" numbers will be shared w/ 'schwarze'
solely because eye am convinced that U would not know how
to handle them, or measure them, or share them w/ the Wi$
baseball community here... Find another way to deal w/ it...

Those numbers show that (across-the-board) when measured
on an equal linear weight, that the single most influential effect
defensively is the arm... This also applies to OF's, & cut-off men,
but NOT in a pre-assumed manner... Rather, the arm is mainly
based upon whether the player is throwing RH'd, or LH'd...

Measured properly, as 'schwarze' would also do, ---it becomes
clear that this is what effects salaries, to the greatest degree...

It's not about plus + plays, or minus - plays... Those also vary
based on which arm a catcher or OF'r is throwing with...

Changing an entire fundamental approach to playing games
here @ Wi$, where we spend small $$$'s on a sound bench,
with NO consideration that, maybe, those $$$ would be best
spent on a great RH thrower, & a LH thrower, & actually be in
a better position to get better results, & more plus + plays...

Did eye reply to 'schwarze' by stating that eye had NO clue @
all, & couldn't understand his question ???... Nope...

'schwarze had results in this years tourney... Similarly, he is
VERY good @ establishing expectations of what the results
should be, & compares them to what they actually are...

This gives 'schwarze' REAL numbers... The 26 catchers that
were captured, prior to the revision... The exact SAME applies
when analyzing ANY player... The arm has the most value...

Am done w/ U --- Mr. Skunk... If U R guessing that it is so very
possible that 1 lone season can have such an impact on any
previously completed season in the database, well, that's a
a problem for your brain cell Doctor... Simply not my prob...

Posted by schwarze on 10/7/2013 7:54:00 PM (view original):Can anybody confirm or deny that salaries for pre-2013 players remain the same as before? Or were there any changes made?

Those were schwarze's questions. Read them again.

Seriously, read them again.

Excuse me, for a moment, but it's "whack-nut" time again...

A "whack-nut" comes into a baseball thread, & turns it into
several grammar lessons, & doesn't EVER get the notion
that he is vainly trying to accomplish this w/ a clearly, very,
very UN-cooperative individual... Who does that ???...

A "whack-nut" comes into a baseball thread, so TOTALLY
filled with unforgiveness for what offends the "whack-nut".
& equally SO bent on a future full of a playground of LOL's
where his new career is typing "Laugh out loud" all OVER
every Forum, here @ Wi$...

A "whack-nut" comes into a baseball thread, w/ so many
pages already filled w/ posts, already late, making ZERO
attempts to apply grammar lessons on previous pages,
& still goes OFF-topic, demanding this is a "GRAMMAR"
lesson thread, time-&-time again...

A "whack-nut" comes into a baseball thread, -& THINKS
that in the rush of the new 2013 release,- where every 1
is gawking @ the new players, that some 1 actually took
the time to scan some 100+ seasons already in the data
base, to see if there were any changes made... Nope, as
eye don't interpret like an off-topic "whack-nut", nor would
eye ever believe 'schwarze' is scanning the community in
search of such an arduous & ponderous task, in all-scan
mode... A Japanese translator could teach a "whack-nut"
grammar-lesson giver a whole fRiGG'n LoTsA bUnChA'
stuff, --->>>couldn't he ???...

A "whack-nut" comes into a baseball thread, CONvinced
that he must dominate a baseball thread w/ "GRAMMAR"
lesson's, with all of the "overwhelming" interpretive skills
of a punk sKuNk, ---who cannot even smell how horribly
he is stinking-up a baseball thread... Can he, or can't he?

0K, riddler skunk, ya' got me... Will confess my single most
heavily-weighted reason is that 'schwarze' is kewl. U ain't...

This is the wife of the man who typed about this being a baseball thread. I honestly believe that skunk206 would score alot more affection from amycox. With his dominating prowess in the well educated grammar department. His skills would drive amycox crazy. I am jealous that you like my husband. How he ever got your attention, I can assure you that he is a man who does not need you in the same way that amycox needs you.
